Note: The Moon Glow Block of the Month was originally offered as a twelve month program. Due to a special purchase, we are able to open the program to four additional participants. Only four months of instruction is offered with this program instead of the twelve months originally offered. Though you will not have an entire year of support, we believe the four month program will give you a good foundation for creating this stunning masterpiece quilt.
Moon Glow is one of the most exquisite quilts ever made. It was designed, hand pieced and hand quilted by Jinny Beyer with fabrics of her own design. This year the Moon Glow Quilt celebrated it's tenth anniversary and Ruby Street Quiltworks offered Moon Glow as our first ever block of the month program.
The "Moon Glow" quilt has lost none of it's luster over the years. Our anniversary edition is every bit as intensely colored and radiant as the original with fabrics from Jinny's "Palette." The Mariners Compass blocks are stunning, named after the Moon's seas: Sea of Nectar, Sea of Moisture, Sea of Ingenuity, Sea of Tranquility, Sea of Rains, Sea of Fertility, Sea of Vapor, Sea of Clouds, Sea of Crisis, Sea of Serenity, Sea of Knowledge, and The Border Sea. Even the names are evocative of a mysterious luminesence.
Though the fabrics are the same, the patterns have been completely revised and updated to make construction of the "Mariner's Compass" blocks much easier.
Jinny Beyer was one of the first fabric designers to create a "palette" of fabrics, just for quilters. She is a master of color and light, using fabric in quilts as an Impressionist would use a palette of oils in a painting. Jinny is truly one of the pioneers of the re-emergence of quilting as a craft, and the advancement of quilting as an art form. Click here for more information on Jinny Beyer.
The class fee includes all four classes as well as the fabric, block patterns and finishing instructions needed to complete the 86 x 86 inch quilt top. Classes will be held on the second Thursday of each month from 6 - 8pm. Our 15% class discount will apply from the time of sign-up through the last class date however, due to the nature of the program, refunds will not be possible. If you are unable to attend a class session, the instructors will make every attempt to help you catch up with the missed instruction. We realize the "Moon Glow" block of the month program is a significant commitment but upon completion you will have a masterpiece quilt. Your time and effort will be rewarded with new confidence in the use of color and mastery of a variety of piecing techniques.
